UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION TO MATHEMATICAL THINKING 10 hours
1.1 Nature of Mathematics: Meaning of Mathematics: as a science of numbers, form and
function, as a language, as an abstract science and deductive structure.
1.2 Mathematics as a study of Creating, Discerning and Generalizing Patterns
identifying and analyzing abstract patterns; patterns of shapes, patterns of motion, patterns of
repeating chance, numerical patterns
1.3 Underlying Mathematics as a humanly created Subject: Creating mathematical
structures – idea of axioms, postulates and proofs; meaning of proof, different methods of
proofs – direct proof, indirect proof, counter examples and proof by induction.
1.4 Factors in the development of Mathematics and Mathematical equity: Socio-cultural,
economic and political factors in the development of Mathematics; Addressing the concerns
of societal as well as Mathematical equity.
UNIT 2: LEARNING MATHEMATICS 10 hours
2.1 Developmental progression in the learning of mathematical concepts – Piaget,
Skemp, Bruner and Vygotsky; Fischbein on intuitive thinking
2.2 Focus on Mathematical processes – problem solving, problem posing, patterning,
reasoning, abstraction and generalization; argumentation and justification
2.3 Socio-cultural perspectives in Mathematics learning – Situated learning; mathematical
problem solving by A Shoenfeld; social construction of knowledge; social interaction and
community of practice.
2.4 Learners Identity in Mathematics: Interrogate the notion of “Achievement Gap” and
Construction of learners Identity in a Mathematics class room.
UNIT 3: MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM 10 hours
3.1 Curriculum: Meaning, definition and Principles of Curriculum Construction;
Organization of the Curriculum: Psychological approach, Logical approach, Spiral approach
and Topical approach
